friends : wine! (especially while on holiday in France with
friends) |
|

much of it could have been true |

What is one of the most important things you have learned in

There is always time to do

|
|
Why is your Christian faith important to you? |
It has given me a good
grounding and ‘instruction manual’ for my life which I hope
that I have stuck to and instilled in our children.
|
|
How does your faith affect the way in which you live your life
day to day? |
I try to ensure that I treat
people I meet in the way that I would like to be treated
myself and when the going gets tough, I can turn to my faith
to help me out.
|
|
What is special about St. Andrew's for you? |
The friendships built up over
many years – the community in which the church stands - the way
that the church has changed over the years to keep up with
changing times – and the hope that it will continue to reflect
the diverse needs of the people it serves |
|
If you could say one thing to someone thinking of coming to St.
Andrew's for the first time, what would it be? |
The church is one of tradition,
but will welcome new ideas. You can have little involvement in
the ‘family’ life of the church if that is what you want, or you
will be welcomed if you have any gifts you would like to offer.
Give it a try! |
